Homemade Pizza Hot pocket Recipe

I am a suckers for hot pockets, well lean pockets actually. The Chicken Broccoli ones are my favorite. My husband and daughter both love anything pizza. So I decided to make some homemade pizza pockets that are healthy and not full of weird chemicals I cannot pronounce. These are made with only minimal ingredients, and they taste AMAZING! There is no need to buy any of that pre packaged junk food when you can make them yourself and be way healthier! So simple to heat up too! Pop in the microwave for 1 minute and its ready to eat! 

Prep time: 20 minutes Cook time: 20-25 minutes

Calories: 200

Serves: 8 

Ingredients: 

Dough: 

-2 cups flower

-1 TBS cooking oil

-1 TBS baking powder 

- 2/3 cup water 

Filling: 

-  1/2 cup Pizza or pasta sauce  ( I used organic Simple truth 4 cheese spaghetti sauce)

- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese 

- 2 Pepperonis per pocket

Topping: 

- 1TBS butter 

- Italian seasoning 

1. Pre heat oven to 350 degrees. Then add flour, cooking oil, baking powder, and water into a large mixing bowl. Mix until the dough forms a ball ( using your hands) knead for about 30 seconds. 

2. Once dough is ready separate into 8 separate balls. Roll out until it forms an oval (Please note, it is extremely hard make a perfect piece). 

3. Pre measure all the pizza fillings into bowls then set aside. 

5. Once done rolling out the dough, place it on a flat surface. Then 1 at a time add a table spoon of pizza sauce to the center of the dough. Then sprinkle an even amount of cheese on top of the sauce. Then add the 2 pepperonis. 

6. Fold over one side of the dough to close it, you can fold over the excess dough or cut it off.  Then press down edges with a fort and then set onto a baking sheet. Repeat until all are done. 

7. Once all of the pizza pockets are on the baking sheet, place the butter into a bowl and heat in microwave for about 10-15 seconds. Once melted add a few shakes of the Italian seasoning into the butter and stir. Then spoon the butter mixture onto each of the pocket. 

8. Place in pre heated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. 

Now your hot pockets are done! Once they cool off wrap then in plastic wrap or in a sandwich bag and place in freezer. To heat up, unwrap the pizza pocket and place on a plate in the microwave for 1 minute. Then enjoy!
